SUMMER HOLIDAY!
Peter Hughes looks at how our horizons have expanded and the world has shrunk since 1963
“We’re all going on a summer holiday”, sang British pop-star Cliff Richard way back in 1963, but he
and his musicians never thought about going further than ex-Yugoslavia. Their adventure in the film
Summer Holiday involved buying a London bus and driving through Europe.
The few package holidays available were to places such as the Costa Brava or Palma de Majorca in
Spain, or to Austria or Italy. At that time, packages were rarely shorter than 2 weeks and
holidaymakers paid around £40 for 15 days in Majorca. Even so, the number of people who could
afford a holiday abroad was limited.
The expansion of popular travel has been explosive. Around 250,000 people took a package holiday in
1963; by 1990 the figure was around 10 million. Increased prosperity, of course, has made this
possible but the biggest influences have been politics and technology. Take Australia, for example. In
1963 you would have spent your life savings getting there. Now you can go to Sydney on a two-week
package for a fraction of that price. For years, the national airlines opposed any competition from
charters, but by the mid-1980s the Australian economy was in decline and the promise of revenue
from tourism made politicians change their minds and charter flights started up in 1988.
Meanwhile, new technology in aircraft design brought us the Boeing 767 two-engined jet, which
meant that a whole range of long-haul destinations entered the package catalogue: Thailand, Mexico,
the States and the Caribbean all have their places in mass market brochures thanks to the new aircraft.
Politics with an even bigger ‘P’ have also opened up parts of the world that most tourists would have
been reluctant to go to thirty years ago – even if they had been allowed in. Nowadays, several
international airlines fly to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), and China now welcomes tourists who
flock to the Forbidden City, cruise up the Yangtze river and marvel at the Terracotta Warriors at Xian.
As for Eastern Europe, the Russians want as many tourists as possible, and in the Czech Republic
visitors stroll through the fairy-tale streets of Prague in their millions.
